This post is in response to Debbie’s at Travel With Intent blog Six Word Saturday Challenge.
I took this photo about 10 minutes ago (7:30 am 9/10/22). We are in the middle of a windy heat wave and the smoke from wildfires is unbelievable. Hopefully by tomorrow the wind will shift.
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

Temperature in my town is also very high these days. Almost hitting 40°C. The sky looks so bizarre in this capture.

We will be fairly close to 40C today. Then back down for the next week. Hopefully the winds will shift and the much of the smoke will disappear 😀

The wild fires aren’t that close to us. But parts of Oregon (where I live), Washington State (to the north) and California (to the south) all have big wildfires burning right now.

OMG so sorry! I hope the wind does shift from the hurricane down in Southern CA. On 9-9-2019 we had an historic orange sky day. There was a dire beauty to the images that we never will forget. I hope you can stay in and be able to breath safely.

It’s windy and 100F (37.7C) today. I’m not watering. It will be the end of my sunflowers. If that’s my only casualty I can live with that.

Ominous skies. I was traveling in Oregon about 5 years ago, and saw a sky like that and did not know why the sun was a bright orange. Now I know. It seems like this all started about then.

Oh we are fine. The air compared to two years ago is not bad at all, although it is in the unhealthy ranges. We are staying inside. The fires aren’t that close. A windstorm blew the smoke our way. It’s still pretty bad today but should be clearing up some more 😀 😀

We had a friend yesterday who had a warning to evacuate because of fires. Fortunately the warning was lifted. We kept a close eye on her area though.

That sky looks ominous so I’m glad the fires are not too close to you. I remember how you and Chris had to go away from the last lot. Make sure you stay inside it’s nasty stuff to breathe in.
It’s autumn where you are, it’s not usually so hot in Oregon in September is it?

The rains usually start in September. So we are getting the last of the main heat. Today our high is much lower and will be for the next week or so. I just want our rains to start 😀 😀
